Benin Frontière

Aperçu économique et sectoriel

Benin is a lower-middle-income economy in West Africa whose growth has accelerated in recent years, reaching 7.5% in 2024 driven by construction, information technology, and manufacturing. Agriculture (particularly cotton, cashews, palm products, and shea butter) remains a cornerstone of the economy and a primary source of export revenue. The services sector, including trade and transit commerce with neighbouring Nigeria, accounts for over half of GDP. Inflation was low at 1.2% in 2024, aided by stabilising fuel prices and tightened BCEAO monetary policy. Benin's capital markets are nascent but expanding, with three domestic companies now listed on the regional BRVM exchange following IPOs by the National Lottery (LNB) in late 2024 and Banque Internationale pour l'Industrie et le Commerce (BIIC) in 2025.
